Materials: Ponderosa Pine from Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

Often overlooked as weeds or litter on the forest floor, these works are the branches, bark or roots of native Colorado trees and shrubs. I explore all over our forests looking for interesting pieces of trees made even more intriguing by many years of decay and erosion by the elements. Back at the studio, I clean and stabilize these pieces, followed by some gentle sculpting and shaping to bring out the best of the natural form. I pay special attention to the textures involved and make sure each piece is as satisfying to touch as to view. The bases used to support and display the pieces are each handmade or enameled hardwood and designed to complement the work. The sculptures do not require any maintenance (beyond occasional dusting) and are a simple yet elegant way to bring your love of the outdoors into your home.

For each sculpture purchased a donation will be made to the Colorado State Forest Service to plant a new tree.
